Welcome to our Apothecary!
Our apothecary has evolved from an awareness of the natural environment and a wish to help people regain a greater respect for the natural world around them. Many of our organic handmade beauty products are based on old world remedies using wild flowers and herbs. In the summer you may even spot us collecting buttercups from the abbey meadow! We aim to produce and stock products both traditional and contemporary in an honest and caring manner using our own grown flowers where possible.
Organic and Handmade Soap
Our organic handmade soap, beauty products, SLS/SLES free shampoo and natural creams are based on simple formulations and are not tested on animals. We aim to use organic herbs and oils as much as we can to ensure our organic handmade beauty products are as natural as possible. We also use herbs and spices to colour our soaps which is how we achieve some of the weird and wonderful effects that many of you have grown to love! Almost all of our beauty products are made on the premises so you can be sure that they are truly handmade. You may even be lucky enough to see us stirring away! As you enter our shop the fragrance of our botanical milkbath, salts and incense wafts through the air, leaving you feeling immediately relaxed. Its a great place for finding truly unusual and hard to find items as gifts, or simply must have's!
